Georges Arguments Must Be Met.

From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.)
The press of New York and Boston cannot
dispose of Henry George with an affected sheer.
He is gaining converts every day and will con-
tinue to do so as long as the Eastern papers
show themselves indisposed to give him fair
treatment or powerless to meet his arguments,
If Georgeism is to be exploded it must be by
showing that it is inexpedient and incompatible
with justice and right.

men to investigate the resources of Wilkes
county, in this State, where indications of
oil are said TO be abundant. Savannah is

A FIREMAN,S PERIL.

Narrow Escape from Instant Death.
Mr. William II. Brooks, fireman on engine
SO of the Hartford division of the Consoli-
dated road and running on the freight which
is known among railroad men as the ''Nor-
thern," which arrives in this city about 3
p. M. was badly injured by being thrown
from the cab yesterday afternoon about o
mile above Meriden. A hot box on one of
the freight cars of the train attracted the at
tention of Fireman Brooks, who was leaning
out of the cab window, and he was struck in
the head by one of the arms of a switch and
thrown violently TO the ground, narrowly es-
Gaping being ground under the wheels. Mr..
Fred Hinckley, the engineer, Immediately
reversed the engine and the train was brought
to a standstill when the injured man was
picked up and taken into the caboose and
the train proceeded. Brooks was unconscious
for nearly an hour. DR.. Elliot attended the
injured man and found no bones broken, but
his head was badly cut and had to be sewed
up in a number of places and his hip and
shoulder were badly bruised. SIT was
close call, " said Fireman Brooks last evening
in conversation with a friend. 1t is expected
he will be able to be out in few days, but
his injuries will probably prevent him going
on duty for several weeks. Railroad men say
it was the narrowest escape from instant death

favored a special session except the one from
Windsor. A special town meeting had been
held in that place and it had been voted not
to favor special session.
Colonel White said that he was present at
the hearing for a short time and heard Mr..
Reynolds and he had no fault to find with
what he said.
Mr.. Reynolds also said that three of the
towns of the State favored the States paying

SUMMED UP,
The Grade Crossing QuestIon-The At
tftude of the Towns.


The Grade Crossing Question-The At
tttude of the Towns.
The second hearing on the grade crossing
problem in its relation to the proposed extra
session was held by Governor Lounsbury on
Monday afternoon. Several towns not heard
from at the initial hearing week previous
presented their views through their select
men and others. The two hearings have pre-
sented to the Governor many opinions favor
able to session, yet an analysis of their
sources shows that they came from limited
sections-the shore towns of Fairfield, New
Haven and Middlesex counties, and FIVE
towns in Hartford and one in Holland eouu-
ty. Representatives, either appointed or
volunteers, were present at the first meeting
from eighteen towns, but many came only as
spectators, and the views of only ten towns
were presented. Thirty three towns were
represented at the second meeting this week,
of which number twenty-four appeared for
the first time. The views of only nineteen
were printed, and one of these was adverse
South Windsor. The towns which have by
their representatives at the meetings favored
an extra session are only seventeen in num-
ber-Berin, Pennington, New Britain, New
ington and Wethers6eld in Hartford county:
New Haven, Branford, Derby, Madison, Mil
ford and North Haven in New Haven county:
Fairfield, Norwalk, Stratford and Westport
in Fairfield county; Middletown, Chatham,
Clinton, Middlefeld, Old Saybrook and West
brook in Middlesex county: Hebron in Toll
land county, and none of the towns in Wind
ham, Litchfeld and New London. Other
towns than those named may have presented
their views to the Governor by petition and
otherwise, but the above list shows the only
of the extra session side of the
ease developed by the hearings.
Evidently the showing is less favorable
than the Fairfield county fathers of the
scheme had anticipated, and clearly it is not
such as to warrant the Governor in calling
the legislature together. That the committee
which has been appointed to drum up re-
cruits from the towns which have no special
interest and have not yet acted in the matter
will secure any considerable reinforcement is

COURIER building, 4O2 State street, died yes
terday morning at 1870 o'clock at the resi-
dence of his parents, No. 10 Wall street,
aged twenty-eight years. He was we'll known
in this city and also all over the State as a
very skillful athlete. He was very popular
with the patrons of his fathers place. He
was an active member of the New Haven
Turn Verein and had won many prizes in
contests of skill. He was best known in ath-
letic sports as club swinger, and for years
held the State championship. He also won
the first prize at the national contest in st.
Louis in 1884. He was q member of the
Arion society and Arctic Coterie. For the
past three weeks he had been confined to his
bed owing to extreme weakness. For the
past year he had been unable to do any
business, and it was known by his intimate
friends that consumption would soon claim
him as a victim. In the summer he went to
Litchfeld, but no benefit was derived there
from.
His parents and one sister, wife of William
e. Dexheimer, the well known caterer on

Defines character.


Defines Character.
OF the Rev. Sam Jones' lecture at Roches-
ter, N. Y, last Saturday night the Democrat
and Chronicle said: "His feature is his orig
inalitv. Mr.. Jones has magnetism, too,
by which he holds the rapt attention of audi
ences. Personally he is of medium height,
slightly built, pale and thin in features, with
black eyes and carelessly brushed hair. He
dresses deftly, with white necktie of cleri-
cal cut and when speaking has the habit of
walking up and down the platform with his
head bent forward. An audience of 200
people were kept interested by the speaker
Saturday night"
The Boston Herald in commenting npon
his lecture on Character and Characters
said yesterday: 'tHe said character was
builded upon affection as foundation, then
faith, then courage, then knowledge, and, as
the pinnacle, kindness. But, first of all said
he, put down in front of me on one side
everything man hates, and on the other
everything man loves, and will tell you
then just what a mans character is. He
touched upon temperance and religion; dis
cussed party politics in regard to the first,
and told what he thought about certain
classes in the latter" Mr.. Jones appears at
the Hyperion Thursday night.

THE LITTLR TYCOON ATTACHED.

Manager Wall Makes an Attachment
On the Little Tycoon Opera Company
Claiming n Breach of Contract-'The
Trial 10 Come OF Next Month.
Just before the matinee performance of the
''Little Tycoon" at the Hyperion Theater yes
terday Deputy Sheriff Catlin made an at
tachment on the company in behalf of Mana
ger Wall of the New Haven Opera House for
$780, which Manager Wall claims on account
of breach Of contract. Manager Harley, et
the opera company, gave bonds in the sum
of 81 ZOO, and the performance proceeded.
Joel w. s. Peck, of the firm of Strauss C
Peck, brokers, became his bondsman. The
case will come to trial here on December g.
The management of the Hyperion Theater
Is in no way connected with this matter. It
is simply case between the management of
the opera company and Manager Wall of the
New Haven Opera House.
Manager Harley told a COURIER reporter
last night that the difficulty was between
Manager Wall and Manager Pride. The lat
ter is the one who managed the company last
season. CAT that time there were two COM
panies on the road playing the Little w.
coon.' was manager of the company in the
West and Pride of the one playing in the
East Pride had contract to play at Mana.
ger Wallis house on May last, but his com
Pany went to Baltimore instead and the con-
tract to play in New Haven was cancelled bv
mutual consent between Managers Wall and
Pride, the latter, however, gagreeing to give Mr..
Wall date later. This season I took the
management of the troupe Mr. Pride had
charge of last season and he took the one I
was with at that time Mr.. Wallis claim is
not upon me, but Mr.. Pride. The latter
will, have no doubt, give Mr.. Wall date
when he comes this way, just as he agreed"
In answer to question whether this was
not the same company that was to have
played at the New Haven Opera House May
2, Mr.. Harley said it was virtually the same,
but under another management
Manager Wallis side Of the story could not
De learned Last night. A constant ringing of
the door bell at a late hour failed to wake
him from his peaceful slumber.
